The Case of Postma.ter Judd.

THE REPORT OF COMMISSIONERS BDGERToN AND
LYMAN ON THE INVESTIGATION.
The report OF Civil Service Commissioners
Edgerton and Lyman on their recent Investigation
OF the Chicago post-oflce is made public. The
commissioners separate this report from that in
their investigation of the Chicago custom-house,
because the latter was made by direction OF the
President, and the former solely upon the votion
OF the Commission. AS the collector of customs
was investigated by order Of the President the re-
port OF that inquiry has been sent to the Presi.
dent.
The report sets forth that there is no foundation
Tor the assertion that political reasons govern the
appointment OF subOrdinates under Postmaster
Judd, OF Chicago. 1t admits that the proportion
ofdemocrats appointed Is much larger than that OF
republicans but attributes this deplorable result
TO the fact that under democratic administration
more democrats than republicans apply for places
This is ascribed to the prevalent belief that under
democratic administration the chances are much
better Tor democrats than republicans as under
republican administration the conditions and in.
f1uences were believed to favor republicans Post
master Judd has uniformly given reasons for the
removal OF su6ordinates, and the report says he
follows the rule or appointing to vacancies the
person with the highest standing certified by the
tl-SerVtce Commission.

MEMPHIS DIRT.
Steady Increase In Value-Brillfant
Prospect for the Future.

Perhaps no city in the countryis a.
tracing as much public notice as Mem.
phis. That she is destined to outrival
her Southern sisters is question be-
'yond dispute. The great drawback
heretofore existing impeding
her strides toward the lead
ing column of great cities
is now being rapidly removed,
and the mar ufacturing interest is now
at higher ehb than ever before in
the history OF Memphis. The compile
ton of the Memphis and Birmingham
railroad, opening in direct way COM
muuicston with the vast coal fields OF
Alabama, and with the assurance that
coal csn bs had in Memphis as cheap
as in Pitlsburg 10 to the city great
advantage, and anyone can see that in
a question OF preference the manufac-
turers will come to Memphis rather
than locsts in an interior town. Real
estate that sold here six months ago at
$40 90 a foot front is now in demand
at $40 co. History repeats itself. If
you will buy lots at the auction sale
Saturday you will double your money
within Dix months. Don't fail to at
tend the sale.
